Indian T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav recently underwent surgery in Munich, Germany, for a sports hernia.

Unlike a traditional inguinal hernia where an organ or tissue pushes through a weak muscle causing a visible lump, a sports hernia involves a tear or weakness in the muscles or tendons without any visible bulge. Because of this, sports hernias can be difficult to gauge, but they do cause significant pain and discomfort, especially during physical activity.
